does anyone use subwoofers in their setup?

Plenty is written about subs but I found this to be a nice resource too: http://www.soundoctor.com/whitepapers/subs.htm and http://www.soundoctor.com/testcd/

Thanks for this link—one of the better pieces of audio advice I've read in a long, long time.  I've ordered his CD and will give his technique a try.

He emphasizes the importance of aligning the phase of the sub and mains and suggests several techniques.  It's pretty simple if your using a Surround processor—you can simply change the distance of the sub & mains and then tweak with the phase knob. But on a 2-channel system, even with a crossover, it's not so easy.  He suggests moving the sub much closer to the listening position, but this violates my living room WAF.

I wonder if there is a custom Devialet setting that could introduce a group delay to the main speakers.  Have you come across this?

Thanks,
